Sent to Health Experts March 13, 2006 3:57 p.m.
I am 5’1”, 19 years old, and weight 195 lbs. I’ve been on the following work out for the past three months and have lost 3 lbs.    2-3 hours of exercise 5 days a week. Cardio + weights Mon, Wen, Fri.   Racquetball Tue Thur + ½ cardio.   I drink 80-120 oz of water daily and consume between 1500-1800 calories a day. According to five different “calorie counters” I burn between 2500-3000 calories a day.
I don’t eat a lot of junk food (a coke once or twice a week) and I try to eat 6 times a day.   I’m also on OneADay and Chromium pills.

I generally have to force myself to eat, not because I’m trying to lose weight but because I’m never hungry. I’ve never been able to lose more than 5-10 lbs.   I’ve had my thyroid checked and had several blood tests done, all came back negative.   I’m willing to work out longer and harder but as it is I’m burning almost as many calories as I eat.

So, my question to you is this: Is there any medical condition that you know of that causes a person to retain their weight, regardless of what they eat or how much they exorcise?

Please note that I had one of the trainers at the YMCA go over my exercise routine and they said I was working out properly and my main meals are grilled chicken, chicken soup w/ biscuits, salads, or fruit.

Thank you for your time
